Whittier: Bard of Freedom

Seemingly this great Quaker propagandist of freedom has been buried in the cloud of his late years; we have the poet but have lost the man. Bennett believes we can have both if we will forget the image of the white-bearded patriarch who wrote
Snow-Bound
and will turn to the young crusader who poured forth freedom verse and prose through three decades.

Originally published in 1941.
